Before making slides with Gamma: check credits, seats and the badge

Free plan: when the starting credits run out you upgrade or earn more

Gamma's help page says the free plan has no time limit and does not need a credit card. It starts with 400 credits, and free-plan credits do not refresh. A referral earns 200 credits, and a free account can hold up to 2,000 credits at once. These are conditional rewards rather than a monthly free allowance.[1]

Generating presentations, generating images and AI-agent edits all consume credits. The amount varies with the model, the length and the complexity, so it is not a fixed “credits per deck”. How many decks 400 credits can cover depends on how you use them.[1]

Paid plans: monthly credits are capped, and so is rollover

Taking the Plus tier as an example, the help page lists 1,000 credits per month and removal of the “Made with Gamma” badge from shared or exported content. Unused credits can roll over up to twice the monthly allowance, so a Plus account can hold at most 2,000 credits at a time. Annual subscriptions also issue credits monthly, not all at once.[2]

Article sources[1][2]

The help page also lists Pro and Ultra tiers with more credits and features. This guide only checks the credit rules up to Plus; for other tiers, read the official page directly.[2]

Per-member billing: every extra person adds a bill

The help pages say paid plans are billed per workspace member, and every member uses the same tier. Adding a member charges for the seat immediately, prorated for the rest of the cycle. Removing a member does not lower the bill by itself; you must reduce the billed seats manually.[3]

Monthly billing renews automatically and can be cancelled before the next payment, keeping access through the current cycle. Annual billing is one upfront payment for twelve months. This site did not obtain an exact subscription amount, and the monthly figure in the help page is only an example for explaining billing, not a price for any tier.[2]

• Count the people who will actually edit presentations before deciding how many paid seats you need.
• When someone leaves, remove the member and also lower the billed seats by hand.
• A mid-cycle upgrade charges the prorated difference, and it applies to every seat.

Removing the badge is not the same as no watermark

Paid tiers such as Plus remove the “Made with Gamma” badge from shared and exported content. That is the official statement about this badge only. This site does not conclude that no other watermark exists, and has not verified commercial-use rights, regions or language results. For public or commercial use, check the official terms separately.[2]

Keep this checklist before paying

• Usage: roughly how many decks a month, and how much image generation and AI editing?
• Credits: do the free starting credits cover a trial, and do the paid monthly credits and rollover cap fit?
• Members: who needs edit access, and how will seat counts follow staff changes?
• Badge: must shared or exported content be free of the brand badge?
• Terms: have commercial use, region, language and export limits been confirmed on the official page?
• Unknowns: what has no official statement? Keep it pending rather than filling in a number.

These are editorial checking steps. We did not register an account, generate a presentation or subscribe to a paid plan. Prices and credits can change, so confirm on Gamma's official page before you pay. This guide only checks official material and includes no hands-on task testing; task testing on this site is not yet done.
